Coolbane Boy is penalised for a bumper victory at Thurles in January, as he was when a very good second to Jon Ess at Gowran last month when Dunbar was a long way behind. SANTANA PLESSIS also shoulders extra for a bumper success and has been a bit disappointing so far over timber but his best run came when second to Arthurian Flame over the track and trip last month, form that would probably be good enough for this. Thousand Tears has had plenty of chances and has never raced over a trip this far.
